After a nice afternoon slumber, many babies wake up, stretch and yawn, then proceed to babble and play in their cribs for a few minutes, until they get bored and squeal to let you know they are awake. Not my Max. He wakes up like this. Always.
COME GET ME IMMEDIATELY- I AM AWAKE!
(by the way, I must strongly suggest clicking on the first two images to see them up close. Way way way funnier. I mean sadder. Because clearly the two hours of rest was traumatic for him.)
and yes, I did torture my child for this picture. but don't worry, I only let him cry for a second.
You should know that Maxwell has definitely become a curious little fellow. He is interested in everything, he will eat anything off the floor (even if he just ate a full meal in his high chair) he is climbing all over everything, and he is particularly interested in the contents of cabinets and drawers. I was getting him dressed this morning and I was digging through his drawers to find a certain pair of pants. I turned around to see this:
Apparently, he got stuck trying to climb in. After running for the camera, I helped him all the way in. He had a fabulous time finishing the job of throwing all his clothes out of the basket. 
My computer is in the kitchen. I do all my editing in there, because it's where everything goes on in our house. When I am working, I don't like to be left out of what the rest of the family is doing! I almost always feel a little hand poking me (usually on the bum) and turn to see him- holding onto the top of my stool, demanding to be picked up!
I love this silly baby boy, who is 13 MONTHS OLD today! He is a crawling machine, babbles all the time, and is the sweetest, happiest little boy in the world (except after a nap. =). While in CA three weeks ago, he weighed in at 18 lbs 14 oz, but we think he has cunked out since then, as he is doing MUCH better at drinking whole milk. We are done with soy, but he is still nursing. ANYONE OUT THERE HAVE ANY TIPS AS TO HOW I CAN WEAN A LITTLE BOY WHO IS MOST DEFINITELY GOING TO BE A BOOB MAN??? He is obsessed with them. He has now taken to putting his hand down my shirt when he is tired of a little sad. Appauling or hillarious? Sometimes I think both. =) I am having so much fun watching all the funny things he does. Although I am so sad at how quickly he is growing up, I have to admit:
I LOVE having a one year old!
